Undestanding LANG setting in /etc/environment
Hi All,
We had issue with a application which reports process counts in log, application used to log process counts as Integer data type (1500).
One fine morning we started seeing process counts in application log as Decimal (1,500).
Our UNIX admin did investigate and figured-out that change in LANG setting in /etc/environment has caused application to log process counts in log as Decimal instead of Integer and was told that LANG was changed to en_US from C.
Here I am trying to understand why this should cause Integer values in log got changed to Decimal data type.
I would appreciate if anybody can help me to understand.
Thanks
Aaron
